I would say go ahead and refeed cos u dont want it to happen again. On the other hand im on refeed now and not having any craving, im really just eating cos the sheet tells me to and im not tempted to stray off the sheet... Perhaps that wouldnt have been the case if i hadnt started it in keytosis. Not having craving or desire for more is a huge bonus as its getting me used to eating small portions of healithy food and teaching me that i dont need junk. If u think u have unleashed a desire for non refeed food r that u wouldnt stick to the refeed then maybe a few days of tfr would b better to get u refocused and back on track so that u can refeed properly. Im here if u need anything su and ill c u in refeed and maintenance soon either way hun. Xx

Hi Su
Don't be too hard on yourself. You've done really well. I knocked myself out of ketosis last Sunday, got back into ketosis on Tuesday night and have been good enough since. My weigh in day is Tuesday & because I was holding onto water because I knocked myself out of ketosis, I didn't even bother going to weigh in last Tues, cause as a daily weigher, I knew I stayed the same as last week. During the week, I had shake for breakfast & lunch every day, but for about 3 days I had some protein. I know I've lost this week, cause I've checked. But really what I've discovered is that I have to control my eating for the rest of my life, not just while on LT. I can't ever go back to eating the same things in the same amount or I'll find even with a refeed, I'll end up back where I was in September. And as much as I'd like to say goodbye to lipotrim for ever, I have a feeling I'll be revisiting from time to time, cause it's the only thing that works for me. But I'll NEVER be on it for 5 or 6 months again - I'll never let myself get THAT out of control ever again.
I know you are in a dilemma about what to do, what with your OH wanting to do LT in new year etc. It doesn't matter whether you refeed tomorrow or next week, as long as, in your head, you're happy that you're not going back to where you were in September. Whatever you decide to do, it will be right for you.
Best of luck
Suse

i second everything that suse said Su.... dont beat yourself up about it!.. dont worry about your weigh in..its completly up to you what you think you should do, but only do what youre comfortable with...remember youve come this far,,,you can do the reffed etc perfectly... good luck girlie xxxx *HUGS*

Starting at 228lbs/ 16stone 4lbs :wave_cry:

:devilangel:

"KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!"

Goal 1- get into the 14's
Goal 2- get under 14.1lbs.. (i was 14.1 for the majority of 2011/2012)
Goal 3- get under 13.4..(weight when i started my undergrad degree)
Goal 4- get to 12.7 (out of obese into overweight..yayyy)

I think just go ahead and refeed Su, it's what you need now, I don't think doing tfr for a couple of days is going to help much so just go for it, enjoy eating, just try to remember the journey you've been on with LT. You're going to do great anyway, it's you!! xxx

Su dont be hard on yourself u have dun so so well. I would agree with Ella refeed and to stop u from maybe puttin on more weight. You where going to refeed next wekk anyway, enjoy your christmas and then see after what works best for you.
Good luck,

Lydiaxx

My Goals
To get through day 1, To get through week 1, To lose 14lbs, Get into size 14 comfortably,

Su, you have probably lost more huni but some will be water showing up from eating. I think you have made your mind up to re-feed now and come back in the new year, i think you will feel better when you have settled on this decision huni, good luck with re-feed. xxx
